About
Dr. Xiaoqiu Shao is a pioneering neurosurgeon and researcher whose work centers on the surgical treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy, with a particular focus on the integration of robotic technology into neurosurgical practice. Dr. Shao’s major contributions lie in advancing the precision and safety of stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrode implantation—a critical diagnostic procedure for localizing epileptic foci. In a landmark 2022 study, Dr. Shao demonstrated that robot-guided SEEG implantation is not only feasible but offers distinct advantages over traditional stereotactic frame-based methods, achieving comparable accuracy with potentially reduced operative time and patient discomfort. This work, which has garnered 21 citations, has helped shift clinical practice toward more automated, less invasive approaches. Building on this, Dr. Shao introduced a novel neuro-robot-assisted method for directly resecting epileptic foci in a 2023 paper, further expanding the role of robotics in epilepsy surgery. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Shao’s research is shaping the future of minimally invasive neurosurgery, offering new hope for patients with refractory epilepsy.
